Travis helped bat Chattanooga to a Southorn Association pennant with a mark of 862 in 1992.
Cecil trained with the Senators at Biloxi in 1933, and hit .362 when returned to Chattanooga,
Washington recalled Travis in mid-season of that pennant-win- ning year, and in the first big league game the young man ever saw he made five hits in five times nt bat against Oral Hildebrand, star of the Cleveland Indiana. Travia has been Washington's No. 1 third sacker ever since. He closed the 1933 campaign with an American Longue average of .340.
Travis hit .319 in 1934, despite a benning by Thornton Leo of the Indians in early May that put him out for several weeks, and a leg injury suffered later.

Ons is Jake Powell, who hit 366 with Albany last season, and the other is Fred Sington, the for- mer Alabama All-America football player, who compiled an average of 320 with the same club.
Both youngsters are pretty sure to alick around to help out Manush, Fred Schulte, and Johnny Stone with outfeld duties.
The infield will be made up of Joe Kuhel at first, if his ankle, broken lust year, is sound; Buddy Myer at second, and Lyn Lary at short. Lary has a big task to fill, in replacing Joe Cronin, but he has assured Harris he can turn the trick.
Clit Bolton's job as first-string catcher is endangered by Jim Holbrook and Jack Redmond, couple of rookies. The former comes from Chattanooga and the Jatter from Birmingham.
